I have seen Moulin Rouge on Broadway in NYC twice. This performance was just a great and entertaining! The talent was incredible, the set was well done and the venue was nice with comfortable seats. This was the first time for the other 3 people that saw this performance and they were blown away and enjoyed it! I would highly recommended this show!

Loved the pre-show as audience was arriving, there were several dancers walking slow Mo along the front sides and onto the stage to a slow jazz… Very creative and set a mood. The bright red stage setting was amazing. Loved the performance and would see it again if we weren't so far away ...in town from the states, obtained last minute tickets.

It was very straightforward with tickets on the app. It was a godsend to us with being older and not very tech savvy. So simple to use and seats were perfect and cheaper than we would have been buying them in London or from the London theatre app. We will definitely use headout again for future tickets.

We really enjoyed the musical. The only minor downside was the start. We understood that the theater would open at 7:30 PM so the show could begin at 8:00 PM. We, along with several other people, had to wait until 7:45 PM before we were let inside! None of this was very clear!

The story

At the heart of Moulin Rouge! The Musical is Christian, a young writer who falls in love with Satine, the star of the Moulin Rouge cabaret.

Coming originally from Thailand, where we don’t get many opportunities to see big international musicals, and now living in Germany, I was really excited to finally see Moulin Rouge in London. I’ve also been taking part in small musical productions in Berlin over the past few years, so I was especially looking forward to seeing a large-scale production. I actually travelled from Germany to London for the show, so I had high expectations, and I can honestly say it was worth the trip! The opening of the show immediately set the mood and pulled me into the story. From the moment the performance started, there was so much energy and atmosphere that I felt completely drawn into the world of Moulin Rouge. I was also lucky with my seat because I had a very good view of the stage and could see the actors’ facial expressions clearly. That made a big difference for me because I could really connect with the characters. The stage design was one of my favourite parts — it was so immersive that at times I felt like I was actually there with the characters. My favourite character was Harold. I liked how the character showed so many different sides of human nature, and I thought the actor portrayed those changes really naturally. The costumes, singing, music, dancing and stage design were all impressive, but for me, it was the combination of the small details in the acting and the way the stage brought everything to life that made the experience memorable. Definitely a special experience and one of the highlights of my London trip.

What a show!! Such a spectacle with amazing actors and dancers, sublime sets, great singing and so many songs so cleverly orchestrated. One of the best performances we have seen as you fall in love with so many of the characters. This was a thank you gift to my lovely daughter who now works for me, and was her first London work event. Plan this in to any London trip!

From the moment we entered the theatre we were immersed in the atmosphere and mood of the show. Actors were slinking about the side of the stage as the audience came into the theatre, which was drenched in red decadence. Singing, dancing, acting, costumes, sets were integrated to make for an entertaining evening. Our seats were excellent as well.

Perfectly managed entering and leaving the hall, despite the full hall, bar was always available with waiting of several minutes, perfect management of the event, thank you. Performance itself was unforgetable! To see Sam Smith was my dream, and the London Coliseum was just a perfect place for this! Thank you very much!
